Police Investigate Viral Video of Alcohol Consumption Inside Darbhanga HospitalPreviousNext

A viral video showing three women and a man consuming liquor inside Darbhanga Medical College and Hospital in Bihar has prompted a police investigation. The individuals, reportedly hospital sanitation and trolley workers, have not been officially identified, and the video's authenticity and timing remain unverified. Hospital authorities and police are examining the footage to confirm details and determine appropriate action. The incident raises concerns about security and discipline at the government-run hospital amid Bihar's decade-long alcohol ban.
